Start your adventure in Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site that pulses with history and charm. Wander through its narrow, winding streets, where Swahili, Arab, Indian, and European influences collide in a vibrant tapestry of architecture, art, and culture. Led by an expert local guide, you’ll visit iconic landmarks such as the House of Wonders, the Old Fort, and the Anglican Cathedral—each telling its own story of Zanzibar’s pivotal role in the spice trade and the tragic history of the slave trade. Don’t forget to stop by the Freddie Mercury House, a tribute to the legendary Queen frontman, born right here in Stone Town.
After immersing yourself in the history and culture of this ancient city, it’s time to trade the bustling streets for the serene waters of the Indian Ocean. You’ll hop aboard a boat for a scenic ride to Nakupenda Island, a pristine sandbank located just off the coast of Zanzibar.
